Posted by Tammy Munson
One of our featured speakers from the 2006 WAH Expo and our friend, Kristie T of Webmomz let us know about a fantatic opportunity opportunity to get you publicity for your local business. While I don’t generally work in my bathrobe, I do enjoy wearing whatever I like while I’m working at home! 
As some of you may know, Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Day is coming on February 12th, 2007 - a day to celebrate the freedom of owning your own home business! This holiday was established to recognize the hard work and dedication it takes to be an entrepreneur.
It’s an internationally national holiday to call attention to the millions of home business owners who have waved goodbye to the corporate rat race and settled into a better quality of life. We felt it was high time to recognize the efforts and dreams of entrepreneurs.
And I’m excited to share that already one mom has gotten a TV story for her business from it. Tracy Ebert, from Virginia, already sent out the local press release and got calls from one TV station, a print publication, one online resource! Way to go Tracy!
So don’t miss this chance to get free publicity for your business. Get your local press release for Doing Business in Your Bathrobe here to get publicity for YOUR business http://www.webmomz.com/bizinbathrobe-local.shtml

75% of Ads in the WAHM Community are Not Worth It
Posted by Tammy Munson
Talk about a headline huh? The sad fact about it is 100% true! I was checking out the blog over at Advertisingmoms.com and I came across an old post from November 20, 2006. I don’t know why i didn’t notice it before..perhaps it was that I was still recovering from the last WAH Expo!
In the post, Kelly talks about how 75% of the ads being offered in the WAHM Community are not worth the money being paid for them. The sad fact is that the wahm’s who are paying for these advertising spots are using their hard-earned money and just throwing it away. I know what you are thinking.. why would someone do that?
Well the answer is simple! When most people look at advertising spots (especially in the WAHM community) they don’t really look to see if it truly meets their target market. Many times they see “$10 for a button for 3 months” and they say “oh wow, thats a great deal and its in my budget”!
Well that is true..it is in their budget but probably not necessarily in their target market. The other thing is that what is different about your $10 ad spot than any other $10 ad spot that is put on that site, probably not much. I have to say I’ve been guilty of that myself but I learned from that mistake.
That’s why these days you really need to think out of the box when it comes to advertising your online business… look at paying a little more for premium advertising spots, really look at if this advertising opportunity meets your specific target market, perhaps sponsorship of a podcast/internet radio show, or maybe dwelve into offline marketing in your local area.
So what do you think? Feel free to post your comments
